Four Westminster Students and Professor Attend Conference
Westminster College education majors Corinna Neely, Ashley Rexrode, Kevin Rush, and Amanda Ventrone, and Dr. Robin Lind, assistant professor of music and director of choral activities at Westminster, recently presented sessions at the Pennsylvania American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) held at Bucknell University.
The students presented, "How to Start or Revitalize a Student ACDA Chapter."
"The students presented an excellent session and each one spoke about a different aspect of the advantages of belonging to a professional organization such as ACDA while in college," Lind said.
Lind presented a session on "Choral Intonation: Tuning the Text."
"Ashley Rexrode assisted me at the piano for this presentation," Lind said. "I discussed how the pronunciation of vowels and the articulation of consonants affect the intonation of a choral ensemble. It is not uncommon to overlook the importance of the pronunciation and phrasing of the text in choral music when working on intonation. I presented several ideas and suggestions that I have developed and used with my own ensembles at Westminster College."
Rexrode is a daughter of Dayle and Linda Rexrode, Farmington, and a graduate of Lighthouse Christian Academy.
Ventrone is a daughter of Michael and Cynthia Ventrone, Apollo, and a graduate of Penn Hills High School.
Neely is a daughter of Steven Neely and Jean M. Hlivko-Neely, Sarver, and a graduate of Freeport Area High School.
Rush is a son of Terry and Emily Rush, Rimersburg, and a graduate of Union High School.
Lind, who has been with Westminster College since 2000, earned her undergraduate degree from Albertsons College, her master's from the University of Oregon, and her Ph.D. from the University of Utah.
